I wanted to express the feelings of despondency, anxiety, and frustration brought on by the pandemic. I was asked to set a poem from Don Bogen's book, "Immediate Song," for a performance on the Salon 21: Petite Piano Concerts series. I was immediately struck by the mysterious and oppressive quality of "Promise Song". The music reflects this claustrophobic atmosphere through repetitive gestures and the static quality of its harmony.
